Lancome Genifique Youth Activator Serum Review | Glam Radar

by Maria · May 29, 2014

After being sent my Lancome gift pack I was super excited to try all my delicious goodies. One of my top most favourite products that Here is my review of Lancome Genifique Youth Activator Serum  !

The Genifique Youth Activator Serum was beautiful and amazing! As you can see below this serum comes in a 30ml bottle with an applicator that sucks the product in once the lid is pushed down and the product is then dispensed once you push down again.

Here is my advertising demonstration on how the applicator works haha.

So the serum is used to reduce fine lines, and replump the skin so that it is given a youthful look. It’s a highly hydrating serum which means that even if you forget to use your moisturiser, your skin will still look delicious and moist.

My initial impression was that this wasn’t going to work because it wasn’t a thick serum. It’s quite watery and absorbs quickly into the skin. After about 3 weeks of using it by itself (because I was trying to see if it made a difference or not) I saw that my skin felt like I’d moisturised it three times everyday.

I don’t usually use serums because first of all they are expensive and well I have never been introduced to them. I realise that I have been missing out on a lot. Whilst I was working on a beauty counter I had a few ladies who were well into their 40’s (with immaculate skin) tell me that serums were moisturisers and toners all compacted into a tiny jar and triple the concentrate. I have to tell you that they are right.

This serum was amazing, unfortunately I cannot tell you the state of my wrinkles because I didn’t focus on that, I was looking more at the state of my skin. To be a little clear, I have eczema so I am prone to breakouts and this is due to dryness. If I am good and stay on top of drinking water and moisturising then my skin stays normal. Anyway my skin cleared up (from the eczema) and it felt extremely soft, almost like I’d applied a generous amount of topical steroid prescription creams. 

I have been using this serum now for 3 months, I apply 3 drops in the morning, and 3 drops before I go to sleep. I still have about 45% of the bottle left to go. So it lasts long, my only criticism of this bottle is that it’s quite pricey. Is this product worth it? I’m still on the fence about this one, to spend over $100 on a serum is not what I would usually do. But in this case I would lean (15%) towards the buying of this product just because you need more products (moisturiser, exfoliator, toner, cleanser) to achieve what this one bottle can achieve.

Anyway ladies I hope that’s given you an insight to Lancome’s Genifique Youth Activator Serum. Shall talk soon, stay beautiful xx
